Why would he stay away from Backstrom. He offered him all of his purse at 69 kg + he would have fought sick as his weightcut were haltered by infection. He were willing to fight Backstrom far from 100% and for no money at all. Backstrom accepted at first and vision told him the fight was on in catchweight. Then after he had drinken water to recover Backstrom changed his mind and the fight got cancelled. He did what he could to save the fight and hes got no reason to be afraid of Backstrom as he has fought guys far better than him.

OT, I could see Svensson-Turner end up as a great matchup with lots of potential
